If you're good with the idea of hooking up cameras around your house to keep an eye on things from anywhere, you'll be happy to know that they might soon be easier to work with, thanks to the Network of Intelligent Camera Ecosystem (NICE).

That seems awfully weird. Last I checked, Sony and Nikon don’t even have smart cameras. But they’re leading the move to standardize them? Would have thought somebody like Amcrest of Foscam or D-link would have been involved. But that wouldn’t be the first time someone said “I’ve never done this but I know how to do it better than all the rest of you!!!”
